So I found out about Monday Mingle through Holly over at Woman Tribune. I thought it was a nifty idea and I totally wanted to participate, so I hopped over to Eighty MPH Mom and checked it out. It’s a vlog meme where you make a video answering the questions given. I could totally get behind that, even though I’m uber shy. But when I went to make my vlog, it came out screwy and was to large to upload anywhere. And you couldn’t really hear me at all. 
So, until I get a better camera or whatever, I’m just gonna go text log for now. So, here are the questions for this weeks mingle…
- What would you think about having our spouses vlog with us one week? Would yours make a cameo appearance?
I don’t think my husband would do any kind of normal or vlog. I have a hard enough time getting him to let me take a picture of him with my digital. I’d love to get him on here with a vlog and let him share his thoughts alongside me. But I don’t see that happening in the near or far future.
- Do you have pets? Tell us about them!
I don’t have pets. I used to though. We had a dog when I was living at home, and my sister got a cat a few years later. That cat was evil!! And our dog, as lazy and smelly and as much as she left her fur everywhere, she was awesome. 
I kinda miss her. I hope to someday have another dog. A pug to be exact. But we’re gonna have to find a complex that allows them.
- What are your favorite sayings or movie quotes?
I have none. Sorry. I used to though. When I was in eighth grade, my friend Sarah and I had some things we used to say once in a while from the movie MI 1 and Interview with the Vampire. Guess it was fun at the time.
- What is your favorite kind of music? Favorites bands/artists and songs? Best concert you ever attended?
My favorite kind of music is rock. I don’t really listen to american music though. If you put everything I have together (music-wise), about 90% of it is J-Pop/J-Rock. It’s just so much better in my opinion. 
As far as concerts go, I go to the Tran-Siberian Orchestra concert almost every year with my mom. It’s so amazing and the music is awesome. You’d have to see it to know the feeling of how this concert is. I love going.
- What are your favorite drinks (alcohol or non)?
Coffee and Pepsi. 
I’m not really into drinking.
So there’s the Q & A for this weeks Monday Mingle. Hope you enjoyed it. And by the way, before you go, what kinda camera(s) do you use? ‘Cause I would really love to get a better cam to make my vlogs with.

Oh yes. We all know it’s true. Chances are, some of you are in them whether you know it or not.
So what is a mom clique? Well, if you don’t know, I’ll explain (or try to without sounding like a complete moron). We all remember the cliques in high school, right? The popular kids, the cheerleaders, the jocks, etc. Well out in the real world, grownups have them too. Especially mothers. Like… the rich moms, the snotty moms, the moms who think they’re better then everyone else, the June Cleavers, and more. There’s to many to name. And if you’re not able to fit in with them, well, you’re nothing apparently.
I’m not trying to single anyone out. But my husband and I have noticed something. It might just be us being paranoid, but when we go to take our son to school, or we’re waiting for him to get out of school, there are groups of mothers (and fathers) who just look at us like we’re bugs for them to squash, no shitting. It’s ridiculous. See, we’re young(er). And all these other parents are in their 30’s, 40’s. And we’re not exactly…their type I guess you would say. We’re low income, we don’t dress like we’re going to a party or to hang out or whatever. We’re not into baking cookies, reading clubs, or the PTA, or whatever else they may do. I’m a nerd (dead girl walking) and he’s a grease monkey. They’re kinda rich, spoiled, think they’re better, or just plain stuck up. But I’ve tried talking to them, but it didn’t take. I wouldn’t be surprised if they laughed at me when I was gone.
So, what I wanna know is, why are they like that? Why is it so hard to get along? Or have they just not grown up yet? Seriously…

My son started kindergarten the other day. I’m happy for him, and he’s getting out and playing with other kids and such. We’re hoping it helps his lil’ poop issue and get’s things moving along which would be awesome. But it’s so lonely without him here.
I’m used to someone being here (the midget) and having him bug me and the television was always on (I have it turned off ’cause there isn’t anything on). I mean it’s nice to have my alone time. I can play WoW, blast music, but there’s just a feeling of emptiness. Silence isn’t always golden. I guess I’ll get used to it since he’ll be gone every day. And the walking him to and from school every day will do me some good too in the weight loss department. Gotta lose the baby weight…
I don’t know how you other moms do it, seriously.
